Default Hood pins

I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get a nice set of hood pins for my 87/92 GT. I don't like the look of those spring loaded ones at all (like these: http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imag...RD_M11_001.jpg ) I want the nicer, cleaner one with the locking pins on the cable.

Also, how hard are they to install? Do I have to drill any holes or anything into the rad support?

Thanks in advance

I used the factory hood stops on each side of the radiator. Mr Gasket.

On a Datsun we have in auto mech the car had hoospins in it abd we just went to home depot and got the cable a tied them down. If you can get some cheap pins that aree somewhat good quality just do that.

I think my kit was less than 20 bucks, and it came with the lanyards. Are you putting these on a stock hood?
